[Legend killer]

Paul Pogba has blamed Sir Alex Ferguson for his failure to make a mark at Manchester United.

The 19-year-old Juventus midfielder said that even though there was a shortage of midfielders at Old Trafford, he was not given an opportunity.

Pogba explained that the final straw came when Ferguson decided to bring back the retired Paul Scholes instead of giving him a run of games


'It was all down to Ferguson,' Pogba told The Times. 'I didn't want to sign a contract as Ferguson didn't play me, even though there were no midfielders there. He obviously thought I didn't deserve the contract I asked for and didn't put me in the team even though he had no midfield players, it was his choice.

'United were short of midfield players like me, but it was the manager's decision. I couldn't do anything about it. I was very frustrated because he spoke to me a few times and said I was nearly there.

'I told him: "If I don't play then I can't get any experience and see how far I have to go." I played in a few cup games but he didn't want to give me a contract and they just let me go.'

Pogba is certainly making his mark at Juventus - he has scored four goals in 19 appearances this season. While he was with United he only appeared seven times - as a substitute


He told Ferguson that he needed to be given a chance like Ryan Giggs and Scholes were when they broke through. Pogba knew his time in Manchester was coming to a close when the latter came out of retirement.

'When I saw Scholes come back part of me was really happy as he's a legend, but I knew it was the end for me. The manager thought Scholes had to play, not me, and after that I had to leave.

'Maybe Ferguson will regret it now but I don't think about Manchester United any more. I have no regrets about leaving Manchester, none at all


Without hating on Fergie this whole Interview Pogba speaks the truth espically the bits in bold don't blame him one bit
